I got this description from A/S.
 
PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) should be used with #1016 Wax to aid in the release of parts form a mold. It should be applied in three thin mist coats over nonpourous, waxed mold surfaces. After the final wax coat has dried, begin by spraying a light tack coat of PVA. Typically, within 5 minutes the final heavier coats can be added. The PVA dries to form a smooth, glassy film. After part release, the residual film can be removed with water. We recommend using an inexpensive automotive siphon spray gun and 70-90 psi for application, although airbrushes will work on hobby size projects. PVA can also be sprayed over any polyester repair to provide an airless tack-free cure. For use with epoxies.
